History and what to see
A day of steady climbing to Alto do Acevo, where you leave Asturias and enter Galicia; then you descend past a wind farm. Note that from here the shell on the waymarkers points the other way. A Fonsagrada is named after a sacred spring and, according to legend, the apostle, disguised as a pilgrim, made it flow with milk for a poor family who took him in.
